Salsa is a Latin Dance style that has roots in Cuba, Columbia, Chile, Peru and other South American Countries. Each country gave its own influences to the music and dance styles, but they are all unified by the same rhythm – clave. Salsa exploded in New York and spread across the whole of USA before spreading all across the world, developing a whole new linear L.A. style. These classes introduce you to a mix of Cuban and Linear styles.

In our courses we willl introduce you to the basics of Salsa steps as well as the concepts of lead and follow techniques.
